Tomorrow's Headlines Tonight

May 01, 2007

Here are tomorrow's headlines from the South Bend Tribune. It's a full docket, quite literally. Here's the rundown out of area courtrooms today: The 18-year-old man accused of murdering South Bend police Corporal Scott Severns last year has pleaded guilty today to all charges. In a separate case, a jury today returned a guilty verdict against Elkhart resident Aljonon Coleman. He was accused of murdering another man near Osceola. Roseland Town Council member David Snyder was denied a change of venue in his felony case. That city's town clerk, Cheryl Gridley, has filed a new lawsuit to prevent her removal from office. And -- and! -- a local couple went on trial today in connection with an investment scheme. Details on all those cases tomorrow. Big changes coming to Notre Dame's campus. Tomorrow's Tribune has details on widespread renovation happening at the Catholic university. The plans include a new museum and four new residence halls. It's all part of between $300 million and $400 million of renovations scheduled for the next five years. Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels was in town today. He talked about the cigarette tax increase and other legislative issues. We'll tell you what he had to say tomorrow. Bit of a controversy to report surrounding the senior prom at Marian High School in Mishawaka. A female student is upset with the school's administration for telling her she can't bring a female friend to the dance. School officials say it's a traditional event. Let's go from the dance floor at that high school, to the gymnasium floor: Ron Dietz will not return next year as the boys' basketball coach at Marian. That story tomorrow, plus you'll hear from the father of former Notre Dame running back Darius Walker. He feels his son was slighted in the NFL draft this weekend. Lots to share with you in tomorrow's newspaper. We hope you'll grab a copy.
